Yes, after being in a coma for 2.5 weeks, he came out of it and struggled for a few days. Then he rapidly got better and now for the past 2+ weeks he goes for hikes and is riding on his stationary bike. Looks like a full recovery. Also, thanks for asking. Thoughtful of you.

@@deanhough8993 Thank you for the great news!

Thoughtful of you to ask. He was in a coma for 2.5 weeks which is a very long time but then he snapped out of it. He was slow to regain the ability to walk properly and talk properly but after about 2 weeks of being awake he began to rapidly improve. After another 3 weeks he was fully normal and resumed riding in a cautious and controlled manner. He's basically back to normal and fine and doesn't seem to have any lasting impairment. That was a lot more than he had bargained for.

@@deanhough8993 Glad to hear. I was really hoping he would get better. Thank goodness. Also, thank you for your reply.

@@deanhough8993 So glad to hear. Thank you for your response.

Thanks!

Thank you for your kindness and support. The poor guy was in a coma for 3 weeks and was just woke up and is able to walk a little starting a week ago. He's got a long road to recovery. Bike riding is dangerous stuff. A gal teammate was hit from behind 4 months ago by a woman driving while looking at her cellphone. My friend suffered a broken neck, broken back, broken ankle and some other stuff. My friend was riding straight in the bike lane. Fortunately she is recovering and able to mountain bike now. But a month ago a nearby mountain biker crashed and died on a dirt trail. There are easily 100 different groups riding on this trail at high speeds each day of the weekend. I'm often at 28 MPH or 30 MPH on this trial. This was a "slow" ride. Crazy how arm chair quarterbacks have all the answers when they know so little. Some people say go to the track. Really? I raced on the track for 5 years as a 1-2 and raced against pros and I won about 70 races, not to mention coming in top 3 at least 300 times. I raced a lot. There are many crashes on the track too. Most riders can't handle the demands of riding on a track. And then there's the fact that there are only 3 tracks in all of Southern California and maybe one track up toward San Francisco. There must be at least 100,000 serious bike riders in California and we're going to make them drive to one of those 4 tracks and squeeze onto them somehow? Brilliant. But again, thank you for your kindness and lack of passing judgement. And to all the know-it-alls shooting their mouths off about having Tour de France fever and attributing that for any kind of recklessness... I tried out for the 1984 Olympics to do the points race and missed making the Olympic team by one place, beaten by a guy that I beat half the time. Four years ago I bumped into 3 fast riders on this BIKE trail and one of them was extra strong. I rode with them for 10 miles and they couldn't drop me, even though they tried their hardest. We were going 31 MPH the whole way. Turns out he was a pro Tour de France racer (Kevin Vermaerke), we became casual friends on Strava and he said he was impressed that I was able to hang with them. Even more impressing that I was 62 years old when that happened. I also raced with Greg LeMond back in the day, so I must have something going on. But it seems that I could learn a thing or two from all these experts here in UA-cam land.

Hey MRMYME!! #goatarmy!

I've held off with update requests because there wasn't any positive news until recently. After 2+ weeks in a comma and breathing tube in ICU, he regained consciousness after 2.5 weeks and is able to walk slowly at 3 weeks after the crash. He's got significant impairment of all kinds right now. He's able to communicate sort of but wow, what a bad situation. Meanwhile a buddy crashed in the Manhattan Beach Criterium a week ago. That guy broke his clavicle, hip, ribs and other bones, punctured lung, not good. 4 months ago gal friend on my team was rear-ended by a car where driver was looking at their cellphone. She was in the bike lane, minding her own business, broken neck, broken back, broken ankle, but she is making a good recovery after long stint in hospital. Bike riding is dangerous.

@@deanhough8993 : man, it’s good to hear he’s on the recovery path. Thanks for the update. Sorry for your other friends. It is definitely a dangerous sport that at the same time, we love doing it. Be safe.

So sorry to hear the extent of his injuries, wishing him a full recovery ❤🙏🏻​@@deanhough8993
